Katzin - Buckaroo - VINYL LP

Buckaroo, the debut album from New York songwriter Katzin, projects symbols of the mythologized American West - cowboys, horses, vast deserts, rolling plains, ancient rock formations - onto the leap from adolescence to adulthood in all it's unsteady shine.Zion Battle broke ground on the album the summer after he graduated from high school. Together with collaborator and producer Max Morgen, he drove to Joshua Tree for a week of intensive recording. InchBy isolating ourselves, we were able to capture this raw creative energy,Inch Battle says. InchIt feels like we made a love letter to our childhoods.InchSurging with rolling drums, filigreed synthesizers, and guitars that flip from a whisper to a thunder roll on a dime, Buckaroo renders the beauty of North America through a deceptively nonchalant electroacoustic collage. InchOne of our main goals was to make the album sound like the desert,Inch says Battle.Elegiac and smoldering with hope, Buckaroo sticks with you a perfect snapshot of a vivid time. InchIt's a recording of a moment in adolescence as much as it's a musical recording,Inch says Battle. InchI really think in 30 years I'll look back on it and maybe cry.Inch
